What was in that link bro?
You piqued my interest buto when I clicked on it , it was showing error. ....

CanadaOrBust:


No need to lie. U know full well I never said Nigerians cannot get corona due to hot weather.
Here is what I said VERBATIM:

It illustrates what I was telling some people - 9ja has done nothing to warrant being praised the way they were praising us. We did exactly the same thing Italy did. So anything that would have happened would have started happening by now.
I hope u can see how the story illustrates my point - there is something preventing Nigerians from catching any DEADLY form of corona. Just as in Senegal where 27 people have tested positive so far. ALL are returnees from hot spots or family members of returnees from hot spots, none serious, some without symptoms, and some have already tested negative again! I’m pretty sure our hot sun and warm humid weather has something to do with it!

And it's definitely not the hand of God safeguarding Nigeria, right?

I dont no about d weather but I think inbuilt immunity acquired over time has been helpful. Symptoms of corona include cough, catarrh & sore throat which are what we get here on regular basis, take a few drugs & its gone. Some people even take orange for catarrh. There's something WHO just aren't looking at to address d issue

sodiqapril:

They closed the link again.....an Indian technician working at the dangote Lagos refinery who flew into Nigeria through Egypt has been showing symptoms of Corona virus but they are trying to sweep it under the carpet

CanadaOrBust:


Always some half-truths and misinformation. Drinking warm water and avoiding ice cream has nothing to do with it. See screenshot below.
A lot of it has to do with immune boosting vitamin D from our hot sun. People don’t realise how important that is. In those high-incidence countries people cover up their skin due to cold. Day in day out, no sun touches them.
Also cold weather has been shown to suppress the immune system to some extent

Olubee22:


There have been different views and opinions regarding the hot or cold weather but if truly the hot weather hinders the growth and spread of the virus, places like Qatar, Oman, UAE, Kuwait shouldn't have any cases. As per hot/warm water, it is known that at certain high temperatures, some bacteria/virus do not thrive and I guess that's why everyone is recommending drinking of warm water.

CanadaOrBust:


It is not views and opinions. It is called SCIENCE. The places u mentioned are not among the hot spots of corona. Also they are neither humid nor poor. If a place has too much air-conditioning corona will spread indoors. The criteria are WARM, HUMID, and relatively POOR. In other words tropical weather and poor.
Drinking warm water and avoiding ice in a hot place to kill corona is ridiculous. Does corona reside in the stomach?

CanadaOrBust:


Well u called it views and opinions when it is what people spent sometimes a lifetime studying. It is like calling malaria/mosquito relationship opinion!
Mention one tropical, relatively poor place where corona succeeded. You can’t.

If a place is too hot plus rich, people will spend most time inside AC. Part of the reason tropical weather is good is that people spend time outside. While in cold weather people spend time indoors giving any flu-like more chance to spread.
Also sunlight causes deterioration of corona.
Then there is the immune-boosting vitamin D from our hot sun. Add all those things together and u have your answer

CanadaOrBust:
If the guy living with the returnee tests negative, then rest assured it is very difficult to transmit corona in Nigeria

showafrica:


If the previous carriers no infect any Nigerian means say e no dey affect african black or its not transmittable in Africa. However, i have concluded on that one already if not, half of lagos for dey down with corona by now.

Olubee22:


I wasn't trying to disregard scientific works so apologies if my post come off as such. "Also sunlight causes deterioration of corona", you seem certain about this but I hope you know this is a completely new strain of COVID and there isn't so many published works on it. Let's see how it goes in the coming week.

Stories that touch the Heart..

The Truth about the Covid-19 Matter in Nigeria is that if you Believing and Working with what is being put out in the Media , then you must be a Joker..

It is 90% sure that a whole lot of people in Nigeria are with the Virus..

It's Just The Mercy of GOD that is Keeping Nigerians from Experiencing what Italy is Experiencing..

Like I always say, Let these Endtime events bring us Back to GOD and Make us to Amend our ways and Accept JESUS CHRIST..

This is just Ordinary Virus and the World is shaking..

Imagine what it will be like on Earth if JESUS Appears today and takes His own away..


The World is Winding up... Don't be Caught Unawares...

Why would the hand of God be safeguarding Nigeria especially but not other countries like Italy where the holy father actually lives and full of people who gave up having a family in order to serve God?
Note, I only asked a question.

mmsen:


You are a clown.

CanadaOrBust:


Nah, cold weather people have much more experience with respiratory diseases than we will ever have. The flu kills 40,000 people in US every year, zero in Nigeria.

I believe it has a lot to do with immune boosting vitamin D from our hot sun (which u can’t get by taking pills). People don’t realise how important that is. In those high-incidence countries people cover up their skin due to cold. Day in day out, no sun touches them.
Also cold weather has been shown to suppress the immune system to some extent

lexy2014:


If it was so straightforward, then Australia wouldn't have had 7deaths from more than 1000 cases

CanadaOrBust:


A country has to be warm AND humid (tropical) AND relatively poor (otherwise there’d be too much air conditioning and corona will spread indoors)

Then that automatically knocks out& negates ur theory on vitamin D as acquired from exposure to d sun. Going by ur a/c theory, it means those who enjoy a/c in nigeria should be down with corona by now.



Australians are also exposed to sun touching them. Based on d above, then they shouldn't be having corona virus

CanadaOrBust:


How does it knock out vitamin D theory?? The AC has to be pervasive and strong which only RICH countries can afford.
This stuff is supported by both scientific and anecdotal evidence. Scientifically, Corona does not do well in warm humid climate and breaks down under sunlight.
Anecdotally u can’t mention any warm, humid, relatively poor country where corona has succeeded

Earlier, u had said that d weather in Africa was responsible 4d low covid19 infection rate in Nigeria. And I responded that it might not just be down to weather. I stated that it might be due to inbuilt immunity which we had acquired over time due to our exposure to d symptoms of corona like catarrh, cough and sore throat.

But u then retorted that our exposure to vitamin D which is gotten from sunlight was what is responsible for that immunity.

I then informed u that if getting vitamin D from d sun was d reason for our immunity, then Australia wouldn't have recorded 7 deaths from more than 1000 cases.

U then changed ur story & came up with d a/c theory that it is because Africans are poor& that we don't use a/c but that Australians are rich and that they use a/c that's why they have corona & we don't.

Is a/c a public infrastructure in Australia? Are people cocooned inside a/c even while they walk on d streets that prevents them from accessing sunlight?

Are all Nigerians and Africans so poor that they can't afford a/c? Are u saying that africa is so poor that no one in africa uses a/c? D ones that can afford a/c or have access to it, why have they all not been infected since a/c makes people susceptible to corona virus?

Except u are saying Australias sun doesn't have vitamin D, u successfully negated ur own theory by urself.

FYI, Australian weather is very similar to Africas

CanadaOrBust:


You don’t realise how confused u sound. Remember this is SCIENCE supported by OBSERVED EVIDENCE. It is not my opinion or I change my story. It is right there for u to see. (See screenshot below). I never discounted your immunity theory. They are all part of it.
The weather I described is tropical weather. Australia is sub-tropical.
As for AC, walk into a public hospital in Australia or Dubai then compare to 9ja - strong AC in public and private places all over, that’s what’s meant.
Also remember Australia is NOT one of the hot spots of corona - Italy just had 627 corona deaths in ONE day!

Jakumo:


CanadaMon I raise a toast to ya brother.

Your's is a calm, reassuring voice amid the raging tempest, barely heard above the deafening roar of blind panic that can infest the mind of even the most rational and objective human being in times like this.

Despite fleeting moments of nagging doubt regarding the efficacy of tropical heat and humidity as virus transmission suppressors, I agree with the basic premise that you have enunciated so eloquently in several previous posts, namely that due in large part to that tropical heat, there will ultimately be comparatively fewer in-country Corona virus infections within West Africa, in conjunction with statistically fewer mortality rates among those that import their infection into West Africa from the current hot zones in Europe.

Today the world finally saw the fabled "Italian Man" who FIRST introduced Nigeria to the Corona Virus, posing for a group photograph with the Nigerian medical personnel that saved his life and set him on the road to a full recovery. Must confess that I did get a little misty-eyed looking at those pictures, since they beautifully highlighted the impeccable professionalism of the Nigerian medical crew, while also hinting that a significant degradation of virulent potency may well indeed, be attributed to West Africa's current heat wave.

Contemplating the undercurrent of welling panic and grim resignation that infuses so many online opinions, one wonders how many people, on witnessing the conveyor-belt removal of body-bags from residential neighborhoods via television footage beamed over time zones from the hot zones, wind up losing their marbles and committing suicide by their own hand even before the contagion starts to claim geographically close victims .

Oddly enough it was the earlier Ebola epidemic that just about rendered me catatonic with fear, thanks to copious media coverage and its point of origin in the Congo's tropical heat, yet today in 2020, despite the horrifying death toll reported in Italy and Iran from the new Corona virus, I sleep peacefully each night, while remaining cautiously and guardedly optimistic about the odds of surviving the current storm relatively unscathed, over much of the West African sub-region.

lexy2014:


And I never disputed ur weather theory. I only said it is not as straightforward as u put it. I clearly don't see what d confusion is about except u are d one who is confused& maybe u feel ur ego has been bruised.

Whether a/c in Australia or Dubai is strong or not, d a/c theory is null& void. Is a/c a public infrastructure that is used on d streets? Is it used in beaches or at Australian open tennis events? So at one point or d other, these folks are exposed to d sun. I don't even see why u are trying to make d distinction between tropical and subtropical. Does d vitamin d from d sun in tropical defer from d vitamin D in subtropical?

Again, ur theory that Africans are poor paints a picture of people who have never used a/c or who don't no what it is. If that isnt s case, that means that all those who use a/c on a daily basis should be down with corona. What is confusing u about that?
